How to Choose the Best Car seat For newborn Car Seat Newborn

The best car seat for newborns is one that is compliant with federal safety standards, is compatible with your car, has useful features (like turning into the stroller) and is within your budget. Also, make sure that the car seat can be easily removed and put into of any vehicle, particularly if you are frequently switching between rental cars, taxis or the vehicles of your grandparents.

Safety

Car seats are made to ensure your baby is safe, and a good one should come with extra features beyond the safety standards set by the federal government. These include padded inserts on the head and shoulders and also air-repellent fabric to keep them cool when driving in hot temperatures.

Another important safety consideration is how easy it is to install and use the seat. Ideally, the seat should be easy to install and use, with clear indicators of its level and position as well as security.

You can find features that can help you with this including belt guides and built-in lockoffs to help you align the car seat with the seat belt of your vehicle. Avoid buying used car seats that may not have been tested for crash, or which might have been involved in an accident. They might not be safe for your child. If you have to purchase a used car seat, make sure it's on the expiration date and isn't being sold by a private seller who does not have evidence of ownership.

One other thing to keep in your mind is to only leave your infant in the car seat for no more than 2 hours per day unless they are lying down in a supine position. This is to prevent the spine from becoming strained and ensure that they get a chance to breathe regularly.

You'll want a seat to last a long time, because it's a major investment. Select a seat that will grow with your child's age and last through toddlerhood to teen years. One of the ones our parents liked was the Axkid One i-Size that is suitable from the time of birth and can be used up to 7 years.

The Nuna pipa air rx is an alternative that can be used for a lengthy time. It rotates 360 degrees, so you can change it from rear-facing into front-facing as the child grows. It's also one of the lightest rotating car seat on the market that weighs less than nine pounds. It's a great option for parents who transfer their child frequently between cars or plan to use it for taxi rides, holiday fly-drives and trips with grandparents.

Comfort

A quality infant car seat will be comfortable for your child, both when they are in the seat and when you are installing it. Find straps that are padded to fit snugly around their shoulders, and for plush fabric that feels good on their stomachs. This is particularly important if you plan to use the seat for a long duration.

The most effective infant car seat is also simple to use. Some have premium LATCH connectors, a SuperCinch force-multiplying tightener, spring-loaded leveling feet and belt paths that make putting them on without a base more simple than ever before. Other features let you adjust the height of the headrest and harness that is essential as your child grows.

One example is the Cosatto All in All Rotate that our testers from the past gave a 10/10 for its ease of use. It has an easy-to-use interface and an easy-to-adjust no-rethread harness and a recline lock indicator and 360-degree rotation. This allows you to switch between forward and rear-facing positions as your baby grows, without needing to remove the seat and replace it.

Nuna Pipa Aire Rx is another example. Our parents who tested it loved it for its ease of use and simplicity, as well as its versatility. Its padded shoulder straps as well as headrests are designed to accommodate your newborn's head and includes an infant pillow that is soft to ensure that they are comfortable. It can be placed in a rear-facing position until your child is at the maximum weight limit or height. It then converts to the position of a stroller.

A good car seat will be durable and many have a warranty. Find an item that is made up of padding and strong materials to safeguard your child from accidents. It should also come with an aluminum frame to withstand the force of impact, and an "crumple area" to stop damage from crashes. It is also easy to clean as messiness is inevitable with a baby. To make cleaning easier, search for a car-seat with removable covers and a machine washable pad.

User-Friendliness

It is crucial that a car seat is simple to install and use, particularly when it is going to be used in a variety of vehicles from time to time. Look for features like an easy-release buckle, an indicator that displays the status of the latch system (e.g. green for locked) and a clear, easy-to-read guide to make it as stress-free as you can.

The Best of The Bump winner also comes with several useful extras that our parents testers loved, such as an padded headrest and padded harness with a plush material and a cup holder. It features a reclining function that lets your child sit in a comfortable and ergonomic position during longer journeys. It can be paired with a compatible buggy for a complete travel system. This is perfect for those who plan to travel for a long period of time.

The seat is suitable for babies from birth. Our panelists found this car seat simple to set up and adjust. It features recline locks and an upgraded connector that comes with a SuperCinch tightener. This made it simple to secure your child. It can also be moved from side to side in the vehicle without tools.

The reclining feature makes it easier for you to take your baby in and out of the vehicle. This is particularly helpful when you are suffering from back pain or have a smaller vehicle. It also comes with the ability to reversibly hold your cup and a handy storage pocket for snacks and toys.

The seat weighs less than nine pounds and can be used with or without its base. It also rotates 180 degrees, which could be a real lifesaver if you are in a tight space or struggle with back pain. Our panelists were thrilled by this new feature which was a finalist in our 2021 Mother&top rated baby car seats awards.

This is an excellent option for those looking to transform their car seats into strollers at an affordable cost. Its streamlined design and high-quality fabric will endure the test of time as well. Make sure to clean the cover often as spills of yoghurt or biscuits that are crushed, and even sickening accidents with toddlers will leave their mark.

Design

The styles of car seats can be as diverse as the cars they're placed in. While some parents choose to not use infant car seat rear facing car seats in favour of convertible models, most new mothers want a seat that can continue to grow with their child into toddlerhood. The most versatile option is an all-in one baby car seat, which lets you switch between forward-facing and rear-facing. It usually has a higher height and weight limit, and it can be used as a booster seat once your child is ready to be one.

The ideal car seat for infants for newborns is lightweight and easy to lift off the base while your child is inside. The Maxi-Cosi Coral is available in only a few colors, but it offers a lot of safety features and is also light (8.4 pounds including seat inserts and canopy). Nuna PIPA URbN is another model that stands out because it won Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards Best Car Seat Group 0/0+ category, thanks to high-end features such as the Dream drape and a canopy that covers the entire area with UPF 50+.

The seat's design and the base should also be taken into consideration. Some car seats come with an attached base that is locked into the buckles for seat belts. Others have steel reinforced connectors for LATCH that slide out of the sides of the base when properly connected. These were a great option for parents, especially in the case of vehicles with only front-facing seat belts.

Some infant car seats can also be used with a regular seatbelt that is not base-less this is a great benefit for parents who often travel by taxi or travel with their child. Our parent testers really liked the Nuna TODL NEXT that can be used with or without the base. It has a smooth swivel mechanism that makes it simple to get your infant car seat best out and in the seat.

The design of car seats is vital. It should fit into your car. (See our guide to car seat compatibility). If you're looking for an infant car seat newborn that will develop with your baby until a booster, choose a model with an adjustable headrest that can be reclining and side impact protection. It's also worth checking that your selected infant car seat is i-Size certified and has the proper car seat attachment points, in accordance with UK law.
